Summary: Allen West is not known to stay mum when something rubs him the wrong way. Lady Gaga clutching a rainbow flag and amending the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" was no exception. The performer sang during a New York City gay pride event, "O say does that star-spangled flag of pride yet wave," then substituted "land of the free, and the home for the gay."
